I had to re-edit this one to brighten up the reflections. Artist for scale. #oilpainter #urbanecology #landscapepainting
Autumn in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. Likely a ginkgo given the yellow fall foliage. #greenwood #oilpainting #treepainting #landscapepainting #cemetery
Understory: View from Marsha P. Just as I am finishing up my stint at this park, I finished up this somewhat larger painting inspired by time spent in one of Brooklyn’s young urban parks. 54”x40” Oil on canvas. #oilpainting #urbanpark #painter
Almost there. This painting has been 90% done for almost a year. Might be 95% after a lot of work today.
I am so unhappy I don’t know what to do. I tried so hard and every day keeps getting harder. The failure should be enough, the shame of it is too much.
Three rounds of interviews for a dream job and no call back, just silence. As bad a rejection as I’ve had, worse than all the art rejection. Too hard
I just slapped together a submission with these three, all made from imagery at the park where I work. #oilpainting
I’m a good supervisor at work because I do not have the title nor receive the pay of one, so my priority is for my coworkers to stay safe and have a good day.
Summer trip to Maine is so good. I love it there. Winter Harbor, ME #maine #winterharbor #lobsterboats
Cloisters view of the GWB. Finished this one up before closing out the studio before vacation. #cloisters #GWB #oilpainter
When I travel abroad, and my hosts, compañeros, amis y amigos ask, what I think of America, I say some version of ‘everything you can say about it is true; for good, ill or otherwise, it’s all true.’
Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) is classified as invasive, but it’s a unique looking bloom in the landscape
A painting in progress. Hard days lately. Still painting a bit. Splashy foliage after one more setup session. #oilpaint
From a trip to Forked Lake in the Adirondacks years ago. (Pronounce For-ked by locals, which is bananas because the lake is named for the prominent forked shape). Not pictured, at this golden hour the mosquitos were unforgiving. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #forkedlake #Adirondacks
